Only ten and a half miles from Notre Dame and 30 minutes from Lake Michigan, this charming Victorian home is perfect for your next getaway! Read a book on the wraparound porch, or take a short bike ride or walk to downtown Niles and Riverfront Park (1 mile). Less then 35 minutes from some of the greatest beaches in the world (Silver Beach, Warren Dunes, New Buffalo).

With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, this home has enough space to accommodate your group! Two porches, including a wrap-around front porch create the perfect setting for a peaceful stay.
This house was built in 1907! The original wood remains throughout the house. Being an older home, there is no duct-work for air conditioning. That said, all sleeping rooms have air conditioning units which keep them nice and cool.
Guests will have access to indoor television (Netflix) and free WiFi.
Cooking utensils (pots and pans) and dining materials (plates, bowls, cups, forks, knives, etc.) are available.
I'll be close by, but only if you need me!

A short walk from downtown Niles & Riverfront Park (over either of the 2 bridges), minutes from The University of Notre Dame & Downtown South Bend, IN, and about 30 minutes from Lake Michigan.

Our stay was great! My family is kind of picky, and they liked Nick's house. It was very clean and just as described in the post. Nick was very responsive to all my questions. Neighborhood felt safe, and it was quiet and relaxing. We really enjoyed the deck out in front too for afternoon coffee :) Thanks Nick! - Natalia

NataliaAugust 2016

We had such a wonderful weekend at this house. Nick was very friendly, responsive and accommodating to our arrival and departing time. He gave us a house tour within a few minutes of getting there and the house was exactly what was portrayed in the photos. It was very comfortable, spacious, clean and located in a beautiful quiet neighborhood. Everyone in our party enjoyed their stay, would definitely go back in a heartbeat!

ElizabethAugust 2016

Nick's place is great! It really is a charming victorian house. We were in town just for two nights and stayed here with friends and we could not have gotten a better place to stay. The porches are great and it's a great place to spend quality time hanging around. Nick is very accommodating, easy to communicate with, and so very nice! It was such a pleasure to have a great experience!

carinaAugust 2016

We had a wonderful experience in this gem of a house full of charm. The wrap around porch and the back porch was fantastic and relaxing. The house was immaculate, spacious, and it kept cool even when we cooked in the kitchen. The yard is beautiful and the location quiet. Everyone in our party, even the kids, enjoyed their stay. We were sad to leave this place, but we'll definitely be back. Nick is personable and accommodating. Upon arrival, we were given a tour of the house. That was nice. Communication with him was prompt and as promised, he was there whenever we had questions or needed recommendations in the area. Be sure to visit Shelton's Farm Market . Great produce, meats, cheeses, and rare finds. :-)

EleanorJuly 2016

Great Notre Dame game weekend. House was about 20 minute drive from campus. We shared with another couple and had 4 grown children with us and were all comfortable in beds. Would recommend highly. Nick was a great host. Met us on Friday to walk us through the house. We had no problems at all clean and well stocked. Beds were very comfortable.

BethNovember 2016

The house is full of character and a very personal touch to make guests feel very comfortable. Nick was so accommodating and hospitable. Nice neighborhood with extremely easy commute to ND campus.

PeggyOctober 2016

A group of us (adult children, aunt and uncle) stayed at Nick's house when we were in town for a family wedding and it was perfect--enough space to accommodate those who wanted to watch sports on TV as well as those who wanted to visit or read a book. It is indeed a charming house; we especially enjoyed the porches--both front and back. And I recommend a stop at the "affiliated" Shelton Family Market--delicious bacon (among other things). Nick made it all very easy and comfortable.

Galen and Karen are gracious hosts who are very helpful with recommendations for local food and entertainment (sight seeing) options. Their house is beautiful with 4 rooms available for rent: 2 with queen beds, 2 with a pair of twins beds each. Hot breakfast provided Saturday&Sundays, cereal and fruit on weekdays. A full bath and a half bath are shared among the guest rooms. My wife and stayed 9 days and had a wonderful experience.

GlenOctober 2015

Galen and Karen were nothing but lovely! They were immensely accommodating, as I was there the night before a big race in Benton Harbor, and they went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and could get a good (early) night's sleep. I felt very at ease in their home, and everything was clean and spacious. We also had a beautiful view of the lake in their backyard! Finally, they were very friendly and hospitable, Karen even got up super early to make sure we had coffee before leaving. Thanks to you both!

WhitneyAugust 2016

Karen and Galen were exceptional hosts. The accommodations were cozy with a beautiful setting on the lake. And, Karen makes the BEST EVER PANCAKES!

LIsaOctober 2015

TOUCHDOWN MSU! What a fantastic weekend. Thank you so very much Galen and Karen, we truly enjoyed our stay at your home and getting to know you. Your home was very welcoming and comfortable and the two of you are such a warm and personable couple. We would definitely recommend your home to anyone looking for a hassle free stay. The queen beds were very comfortable, the bathrooms were clean. This was a very "homey" experience and we even celebrated with a MSU victory! PS, Yes, the pancakes were great, even though Mark couldn't break the record, he stopped at 8 . .hahaha

JanelleSeptember 2016

Our host was simply amazing. The house was beautiful and our hosts were so kind. They have us all the information about event around town. Breakfast was included both days--way above what we expected. They will see us next year!

AdamOctober 2016

Karen and Galen are the epitome of friendly hosts. I don't need to repeat what the other reviews already say. Just know that breakfast is awesome, the hosts are friendly, and the view is fantastic!

BurkeOctober 2016

We had a great time with Galen and Karen! They are the most gracious hosts! We arrived too late to enjoy the lake so we plan to come back. All the reviews are true about the yummy pancakes! They were fantastic! We had a wonderful visit with them while enjoying our breakfast overlooking the stunning view of the water. Can't wait to stay again!

Stay in a private room in our 1896 home which has been retrofitted to be as efficient and sustainable as possible.
If you are interested we are glad to give tours of the solar electric, hot water and heat systems as well as the raised bed organic gardens.
A great place to stay whether you are in town for business or pleasure. We are 11 miles North of Notre Dame and St Mary's College. We are also about 30 minutes from many great Lake Michigan beaches and wineries.

We have maintained the character and charm of an 1896 farm house while updating with modern comforts and efficiency and enough solar power to make it nearly net zero for energy use.
You will have access to all common areas, yard and porch. Let us know if you would like to use the kitchen.
We enjoy meeting guests and when possible will have a social hour with a complimentary glass of wine.

Even though we are in an old farmhouse with gardens and fruit trees, we are right in town. There is a neighborhood bar across the street and we are walkable and bikeable (ask about borrowing some bikes) to downtown restaurants, parks and a movie theatre.
We are a mile from Niles Amtrak station and the Niles airport, about 30 minutes from South Bend regional airport.

Everything was fabulous at Dan and Jodi's. They were very friendly and welcoming. It was like staying with family without any of the obligations or complications. We used their front porch to catch up with our daughter at college. It was a great casual setting after a long trip. The upstairs room was spacious, and it was fabulous to come home and find wine and glasses waiting for us. Dan made a delicious omelette in the morning and whipped up pancakes for our 13 yo son. It was an easy ride from Notre Dame, which made it the perfect game weekend place to stay.

DeniseSeptember 2016

Dan and his wife were very welcoming. I will recommend them highly. Their home is very cute. I was impress how everything: The room, the bathroom, and the breakfast was so well put together almost artistically.

Manuel D.August 2016

Dan and Jodie were amazing and we could not have asked for a better first airbnb experience. They accommodated a very late arrival on Friday night and still had a glass of wine and great conversation with us. As described below Dan makes a great breakfast!! I think the guest below nailed it right on the head when they said it was like staying with family without the obligation. We would definitely stay with them again!!

KellyNovember 2016

Dan & Jodi have a very nice place to stay. The room with 2 beds worked great for us and the bathroom with a combo claw foot tub/shower combo looked like it was brand new. We asked if they happened to have a place in the back for a small campfire for the evening and when we got there the fire ring, newspaper, kindling, dry wood and chairs were all waiting for us. The omelets in the morning were really good, complete with veggies from their garden. Dan & Jodi are great hosts - very accommodating.

TomNovember 2015

My girlfriend and I wanted to spend a weekend in a new town and go to the Western beaches of Michigan. We were lucky to find Dan and Jody's home, not just because of the location but also because the great hosts and comfortable home. It is a well appointed home, and the Vandenheede's made us feel at home. If you love VW's, you have to stay there!

ManuelJuly 2016

I really enjoyed my stay with Dan. He is a very welcoming host, explained everything very clearly. I felt very comfortable in his home. The breakfast was excellent and totally nourishing. I would recommend this home to my family and friends.

MaryJuly 2016

A very comfortable place to stay! Hosts were very accommodating for a late night arrival after the Notre Dame football game. We felt like we were staying with old friends. Would definitely stay there again.

This ranch style home is located on beautiful Barron Lake just 11 miles from Notre Dame. Our home has been recently renovated, perfect for entertaininThere are two fully furnished levels including 2 Kitchens, 2 Family Rooms and 3 indoor eating spaces. Enjoy the sandy beach and lake for fishing and water sports. Patio has tables, chairs and loungers. Perfectly located for winter sports. Ice fishing and snowmobile trails start just down the street!

Kim helped me through my 1st experience with airbnb. She has obviously been working on many updates and her decor is great. We arrived after dark and had hungry kids. She sent me a text with a dinner suggestion The Nugget. It was perfect. The home's location was an easy drive for us to go back and forth to Notre Dame for the football game. My boys played football on the sandy beach. My experience was way better than being cramped in a hotel room. Thanks for your hospitality.

NancyOctober 2016

Came for the ND football game. Great location. Close to campus but far enough away to be out of the normal hustle and bustle of game weekend. If your looking for that big game party this may not be your place. We were not so it was perfect. Beautiful setting on the lake, peaceful and relaxing, and the people in the area are very friendly. Everything we expected and more.

Being that we are a hobby farm, we do also have 2 dogs, a few cats, horses, and chickens.

We have 2 private bedrooms, each with a private bathroom available for your use. The first bedroom is located on the main level and has a queen size bed. The second bedroom is in the cozy finished basement and has a trundle bed (2 twin beds). The lower level also has a woodburning fireplace. A great way to relax after a long day on the trails.

We love to get to know new people, especially our guests! But we leave it up to you as to how much or how little you chose to interact with us. But we are here to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

Quiet, secluded, safe, peaceful.
I do work from home M-F so I request you respect my work hours.

We arrive very late and both Michelle and Ken were there to meet us and make sure our accommodations suited us. The next morning we were treated to breakfast and then given a tour of their " hobby farm." Our kids loved the animals and we all enjoyed the rural setting and the friendly conversations. Thanks for a wonderful stayvand conclusion to our vacation.

EricJuly 2016

Fantastic place to unwind and relax. It's places like these that make me realize how much i miss getting away from the city. Michelle and her husband were fantastic hosts. Very warm and welcoming people. We were lucky enough to taste fresh eggs for breakfast hatched earlier by resident chickens! Michelle was also helpful in taking our fur baby for a walk when we went out to a wedding for the evening. If you're looking for a quiet, small farm style place to get away from city life, hosted by a couple of wonderful people, look no further, and reserve today!

ArekAugust 2016

I had a wonderful time here. Michelle and her husband were very nice and very accommodating. I was able to use the location as a starting point for getting lots of tasks done nearby, as well as for visiting Notre Dame. I would encourage others to visit, and I would happily stay here again.

Our family had a lovely overnight stay at Michelle and Kevin's home. We arrived late in the evening and stayed until noon the next day. Their home was cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed the countryside setting, had fun in the pool in the morning (with the audience of ducks and chickens peering through the fence) and enjoyed our visit the horses and other animals. We certainly felt welcome. Michelle quickly responded to our questions and was flexible with our arrival time. We would definitely stay there again!

nicolaJuly 2016

This home was uniquely situated-- impeccably clean and spacious room in a lovely home on a small farm. The animals are friendly-- the horse came right up to my daughter! It was lovely having a private bathroom and den. We appreciated the breakfast in the morning. The hosts were very helpful and friendly without being obtrusive. It was a great stopping point on our drive to Chicago.

DeannaAugust 2016

Michelle and her puppies are great hosts. If you want to experience a small farm environment, Michelle is your host of choice.

GlennJuly 2016

My mother, sister, daughter and I received a warm welcome from Michelle and later Ken at the start of our weekend stay. The house was clean and we really appreciated the refrigerator space and use of the kitchen. The setup of the house is really nice for Airbnb hosting as the 2 rooms we rented--one upstairs and the other down--each has a full, private bathroom. Comfortable beds, strong shower spray and strong internet. There are numerous house pets, 2 dogs and 2 to 3 cats, so you should be okay with that if staying here. Despite this, the amount of pet hair in the house was minimal. Be sure to bring walking shoes and spend time walking the property and visiting the horses, ducks and chickens. I ventured into the woods and saw a deer in the distance. It was serene. If at all possible, first-time arrival at this property during daylight hours is highly recommended as its country location means it's really dark at night. Overall, excellent stay and we'd stay again.

Nice and easy going. Huge Spartan fans, Karen and Galen were a pleasure to stay with. Their home is in a beautiful lakeside location, and Karen served a fantastic egg casserole for breakfast. thanks Noah

What an awesome experience. Galen and Karen were so nice and genuine. Accommodations were clean, I forgot my toothbrush and they gave me one. Coffee was available in the morning, and breakfast was perfect. Galen is a good cook. Karen is also but I did not get a chance to experience her cooking. Previous guest said her buttermilk biscuits were the best. Neighborhood was nice and peaceful. Strongly recommend staying with Karen and Galen if you get the opportunity.

Karen and Galen were wonderful hosts. They worked with me to arrange a check-in time, were accommodating, extremely friendly, easy to communicate with and have a gorgeous patio to view the lake. Very serene stay. They offered to make me breakfast both mornings, but when I had to turn the offer down due to early exits both mornings, they gave me plenty of options for breakfast foods that I could take with me from their own kitchen. Would definitely stay again. A Plus experience!

Our hosts were so kind providing us with a list of things to do. We will definitely recommend this stay to others and be back ourselves!

Galen and Karen were super friendly and made us feel at home immediately. Our stay was really more like visiting with old friends. They have a great lakefront home in a nice rural neighborhood and it was easy to get into South Bend from there. We also appreciated their info and suggestions on what to see and where to eat. Would love to come back again and stay with them!

Stayed here for a girls weekend and we couldn't have been happier! This location was near several wineries and we took advantage of the driver/limo that was offered for the day. We spent the day doing wine tastings and came back to soak in the hot tub, listen to music, and chat by the bonfire. Cami was very communicative from the beginning, and she provided lots of unexpected amenities that made the trip much more enjoyable and comfortable!

CarolNovember 2016

Cami made sure the house was clean and ready for us before we got there. She had toiletries which were great - seriously, better than a hotel. The sheets and bedding seemed recently washed. Big house (8 of us fit). Very close to Michigan wine trail (we definitely hit that up - 7 wineries in one day) and close to notre Dame where we eat breakfast the next morning. My only minor complaint: the house is in an odd location and difficult to find. Other than that, the stay was awesome!

KatyJuly 2016

Our host was amazing, she not only had refreshments in the fridge and bathroom for us, she was easy to get in touch with throughout this process. This was my first time using Airbnb and she made it so easy. The house is really clean and comfortable, we had 8 adults and 2 kids stay here and we all had our own beds. It doesn't get much better. The price blew away hotel pricing and we all felt much better staying here than in a hotel. Beautiful location with lots of woodsy privacy. Thank you for a wonderful trip. We appreciate you sharing your home.

To be clear, you don't drive the bus- We offer a full service VW bus camping experience. When you arrive your camp is set in the backyard among raised bed organic gardens. The table, chairs and a fire pit with all the wood you need are already set up, sleeping bags, sheets and pillows in the bus- we even include a complimentary bottle of local wine (or beverage of choice). We also have an outdoor stone bbq/pizza oven and bikes available. Private bathroom just inside our back door.

Phoenix is a 1969 VW bus with a Sportsmobile conversion. He is in beautiful shape inside and out. The top pops up so you can stand up inside and there is a bed up there, but we mostly use it to put our bags etc. and sleep on the downstairs bed, but your choice! The "downstairs" is cozy, with a table between a jump seat and the rear seat. The rear seat folds into a bed and we find that one more comfortable. The bus has a canopy in case it rains you can still sit outside and we can plug in a space heater if it gets cold- but no air conditioning! Warning, once you sleep in a VW bus you will want one!
There is a half bath just inside our back door, about 50 feet rom your campsite that you will have full access to and we can make arrangements for a full bath with shower if needed. We have a stone bbq/pizza oven available for your use as well as cruiser bikes you can borrow if you want, we are a mile from downtown Niles and a hiking/biking trail that goes all the way to the Indiana state line.
We like to greet our guests with a complimentary bottle of local wine or some local beer, if you like. Depending on our schedule we can provide tips, directions and possibly even rides to nearby attractions. We provide breakfast in the morning along with coffee or tea.

We love our neighborhood! Very eclectic with a mix of residential and some businesses. Niles is a small town with a bit of a bigger town, urban feel. There is a quiet bar across the street and a couple others in walking distance.
You can borrow our cruiser bikes if you want, no uber yet in Niles but taxis do operate here. We have off street parking for you. we are also only a mile from Niles airport, so if you happen to have a plane you could fly in and we could arrange to pick you up.
We have great neighbors and our backyard is pretty private, but you will be camping in the City so you may see neighbors in their yards and there will be traffic and other City sounds.
We are about 12 miles from Notre Dame and there are many great wineries, breweries and Lake michigan beaches within about a half hour drive away.

Our experience with Dan and Jodi was wonderful & amazing. They were so thoughtful- they texted us the day before we arrived to ask if there was anything they could get us to make our stay more comfortable. They greeted us upon arrival and had the bus ready to go, complete with a fire pit and hula hoops! Jodi had made a fruit pizza and we sat around their kitchen table and talked & laughed. Then they let us borrow their bikes (Dorothy & Warrior!) to ride into town for dinner. Sleeping in the van was wonderful and such a fun experience. Dan made us yummy omlettes for breakfast in the morning & 'white wine' mimosas and we ended up sitting around and talking for hours (I probably talked their ears off since I was traveling with my daughter for a week so it was nice to have other adults to talk to!). Dan and Jodi are wonderful people with great spirits and I could have spent the entire weekend hanging out with them. The night on their bus was by far & away our favorite part of our trip. Stay here and you will not be disappointed. For real. Stay here.

Our stay with Dan and Jodi in their Volkswagen bus was phenomenal. Everything in their description was 110% accurate and, in most cases, even better in real life than in the description. After staying in the bus, we indeed wanted our own bus and started researching the cost of a bus. It is now our new goal in life. Besides the awesome, unique nature of staying in the bus, Dan and Jodi are A+ people. They made us feel welcome and were very accommodating. Dan's omelette was also very good. Definitely take him up on the offer. Airbnb review reader, you owe it to yourself to stay with them.

Quiet, full of wildlife but yet close to many things.. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids), and furry friends (pets).

We came in for a Notre Dame game. Overall, we had a very pleasant experience. The hosts were very friendly and wanted to make sure we had a nice visit. The house was on a lake, and the entire stay had a bed and breakfast feel, with the opportunity to meet other fans traveling in, as well as a wonderful breakfast prepared by the hosts. It was an excellent alternative to jamming into one of the fully booked hotels closer to campus, and definitely a better value.

JosephSeptember 2016

The listing was just as described. We enjoyed the room with the queen size bed, and adjacent bathroom. The view of the lake and sitting area outside are lovely. Karen & Galen served a very nice breakfast which we shared with them. They offered to take us on a pontoon boat ride around the lake, which we really loved. The value was really exceptional, and we would definitely stay with Karen & Galen again! We look forward to our next visit.

DebbieAugust 2015

Galen and Karen were both very welcoming! Stayed at their house for the Notre dame game and were very helpful by providing directions and a map of the campus which was very helpful. Both are very nice and awesome host strongly recommend anyone to stay with them.

GustavoOctober 2015

My hosts made me feel most welcome in multiple ways. First and foremost by providing clean and comfortable accommodations. Additionally, they povided a lovely breakfast and a bit of refreshment at the time of my arrival. Their home is a lakeside residence a short drive from Niles, MI and South Bend, IN. The only inaccuracy in their listing is that the photographs they have posted don't do justice to what a nice residence they have to share.

DanielSeptember 2015

Lovely location, lovely hosts, it just wasn't the ideal setting for us. My fiancé and I came to town visiting family in St. Joe for a night. Hotels were booked and so we decided to Air BnB. Galen & Karen were very solid, nice people but the bedroom was very small. It felt a bit awkward the first night but having breakfast together with our hosts and their family from out of town was a nice touch. Karen & Galen made delicious pancakes and sausages and we had great conversation.

We were in town for a Notre Dame football game, and couldn't have asked for better hosts or a better place to stay! Galen and Karen greeted us upon arrival and gave us a tour of their lovely home. We loved waking up to the gorgeous lake view and the breakfast was delicious each morning! The listing is just as pictured, very quiet neighborhood and less than a 20 minute drive to Notre Dame's campus. We hope to be able to visit again next season, hopefully when it's a little warmer so we can enjoy the lake! :) Thank you Galen and Karen for being such welcoming and helpful hosts!

The rooms were spacious and clean. The house is on a nice lake in a quiet neighborhood. The hosts Galen and Karen were very gracious and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious. Convenient location close to Notre Dame, South Bend, Lake Michigan, etc.

DanAugust 2015

We had a lovely visit. Galen and Karen took care of everything, even blowing up floaties for the kids. They also took us on a pontoon ride at sunset around their lake which was a highlight of the visit. Though the best part was definitely the buttermilk pancake breakfast!

SarahJuly 2016

A fantastic experience for the whole family. The home is wonderful, the lake setting is divine, and Galen & Karen are ideal hosts. And yes, those buttermilk pancakes ate the best! Highly recommend!

LauraJuly 2016

Galen and Karen received us like i would receive my own brother or sister! i cannot say better. Everything was done for our best stay with all confort and sincere cheerful smile. As a french visitor i took a lesson of welcome for sure. Thank you both and be my guest at my home in Louveciennes whenever you wish.

JlucMay 2016

Karen and Galen were wonderful. We were traveling in a large family group, including a five-month-old baby, and their place had plenty of room for all. They were very flexible, and were willing to accommodate a last-minute change in the number of guests we asked for. They went "above and beyond" in baby care, offering us the use of a pack-n-play as a crib and a baby tub for bathing. So much appreciated. The breakfasts each day were great, especially the pancakes. The venue was lovely, right on a peaceful lake. Everything was clean and the beds were comfortable.

MarieAugust 2016

Galen and Karen were great hosts! We were in town for a home ND game. It was a pretty easy drive to campus and not too long (20-25 minutes). Both days we slept in a little late, but both days Galen and Karen were waiting to serve us breakfast, even though we told them they didn't have to. It was a very nice way to start the day. They were also very friendly and liked chatting with us as we ate. Overall, it a very good value for the price, especially on a home ND weekend.

Stephanie texted me with instructions for finding the keys and accessing Wifi. She was accessible via text or email if we needed anything, which we didn't. The house is small but has everything you need-- full kitchen, full bath, Wifi, Netflix... It was clean and tidy until our dogs decided to race around the backyard and track dirt/grass back inside. Speaking of the backyard, if you have dogs (or kids, I guess) this house is perfect! Huge lot with completely fenced-in (6-7 foot fence) backyard. Our dogs wore themselves out racing around and chasing each other! She even has dog food and water bowls, and a huge treat jar! The house was perfect for us (2 people, 2 dogs) and our needs. Grocery stores and fast food is a short drive away, and the river is a walkable distance.

Loved staying here for a Notre Dame football weekend. It was close enough for a quick drive to campus, but far enough removed for some relaxation time as well. The check-in process was easy and flexible, and the house was clean when we arrived. Overall a wonderful stay in a beautifully furnished and quaint lake house. Would recommend this in the future to anybody.

Diana is an incredible host and has a great property. It was so quaint, clean, and very close to ND. It made a perfect location for catching the game and weekends, and provided a great retreat from all the madness.

DeonSeptember 2016

Diana was extremely clear in her communication about how to find the house. Upon our arrival the home was extremely clean and exactly matched the pictures. Perfect spot for a getaway weekend!

The cottage is small and charming with an old world feel. It looks right on to the lake with 40 feet of frontage. There's a canoe available to use. There's a fire pit and a Weber grill, all the things you need for lake life!
The cottage is turn of the century, so it has a worn feel. It also has a way of producing cobwebs at great speed. I clean under and over, but seem to miss a few here and there. I will come over and take care of whatever you find!

24189 North Shore Drive, Edwardsburg, MI. available for rent on Eagle Lake. This rustic cottage is great for a casual getaway. It is a turn-of-the-century cabin that feels like Northern Michigan.
The lake is 45 minutes north of South Bend, Indiana and the University of Notre Dame.

You will have access to 40 feet of frontage on Eagle Lake. there is a dock and canoe for your use.
I am available by phone and can be there if needed. We live next door and work in South Bend, which is 40 minutes away.

The lake area has everything from lake houses to trailer parks. there are parks nearby and good local food. It's small town America!
There is not public transportation near Edwardsburg. There is ample parking for more than one or two cars once you get here!
We live next door to the cottage. We have 3 cats that roam around, so if you have dogs, they will need to be tied up outside.

A very sweet, quaint, quiet cottage getaway from the city. The perfect way to bring in the New Year with my husband, pup, and baby to be! Everything you need is provided to cook and relax! That's precisely what we did. The bear claw tub was just what I needed to warm up after a stroll in the neighborhood. We sat by the fireplace, made delicious food, watched the birds, played games and celebrated the end of 2015. If you are in the Chicago area, an easy drive for a romantic stay away from the hustle and bustle. Thank you, Kathy!

We had a wonderful two days at the Cottage on Eagle Lake. Kathy and her family made us feel very welcome and the escape from the city was just what we needed. We enjoyed a nice evening by the fire pit and a peaceful morning by the lake. We hope to be able to enjoy the cottage again in the future!

We had a fantastic fall vacation at this rustic cabin location. All reviews are accurate as is Kathy's description. Fantastic for fall trip

MarieOctober 2015

This is a lovely rustic cottage with a beautiful view and some nice amenities being right on the lake. The roof did leak and we arrived in a driving rainstorm. We did have to spend the first night putting out a bunch of bowls and pots to catch all the drips. Our host did tell us she is looking into getting the roof fixed this next week, so hopefully that will only be a temporary problem.

MatthewSeptember 2016

My husband and I and 2 dogs stayed here for 3 nights in late August. The cottage is exactly as described, very rustic. Pros: - Quiet and relaxing for 2 people - Beautiful views and nice birding - Waterfront access and a canoe - Kitchen is well equipped for cooking - Kathy and her twin sister are both super friendly - Grocery store, Walgreens, RedBox within 5 minutes drive Cons (not so much cons more things to note...) - Stairs! Very steep stairs going upstairs to the bedroom. Wood stairs from the parking area to the house, then stone steps from the house down to the waterfront. - My husband is 6' and showering is very diffucult with the low ceiling. I'm 5'3" so this was great for me :) - The internet really doesn't work at all.

The cottage was CHARMING! The decor and the amenities were (URL HIDDEN) was exactly what we were looking for. Kathy was sooo helpful and accommodating to our needs with this last minute booking. She was so easy to communicate with. We felt comfortable as though we were at home. We are looking forward to coming back soon with some family. THank you soo much Kathy for sharing your cottage with us.

Truly classic camp Americana (with the comforts of a real bed and hot shower). Beautiful sunrise views over the lake. Dock, lake, and backyard live up to their descriptions. Quaint and cute. Adorable decorative touches in every nook and cranny. Gorgeous claw foot tub. Really warm and welcoming. It was really nice to have our dog be welcomed too. We would stay there again in a heart beat. Side note: not recommended for people with stair mobility issues.
